- "A molten river of raw protodermis ran throgh the center of the district, drawn from below the city and fed into the Great Furnace. From there, it traveled to each factory to be turned into masks, tools, and anything else that might be needed."

[carve] History
Upon Metru Nui's creation, Ta-Metru was soon brought about, one of the first districts to be constructed.
Ta-Metru's main industry quickly became forging and smelting, and, thusly, most of the tools in the city are often made from Ta-Metru. Of its main exports, Ta-Metru is famous for the Kanohi they smelt, worn by all the Matoran and Turaga citizens of Ta-Metru. To create Kanohi, mask forgers took a combination of Kanoka Disks and melted them together. This gave them each a unique mask power, although few Toa wore these masks. As Ta-Metru primarily worked in molten Protodermis, large vats of it were transported throughout the Metru, via cable cords.
Due to a dispute Ta-Metru and Po-Metru, the Matoran Civil War began. In anger, many Ta-Matoran melted a warehouse with molten Protodermis; in retaliation, the Po-Matoran then sunk their transport barges, sparking the war. During this time, the health of the Great Spirit was heavily diminished, and, in the end, Brotherhood of Makuta members were forced to intervene to end the war.
After many years of peace, during the strike of the Morbuzakh, the Metru was under constant threat from molten Protodermis dropped from these vats, when the Morbuzakh vines caused them to fall. Under a year after this, the Great Cataclysm struck the universe. Shaking many vats of protodermis, the molten protodermis fell to the ground, melting much of the city.
When the Matoran returned to the city from Mata Nui, they began to reconstruct their former city. Ta-Metru was among the first to be rebuilt, as the Matoran required new tools and materials in order to rebuild the other Metrus. Soon after rebuilding much of the city, the Staff of Artakha was used, restoring the city completely to its former glory.
